Could someone please tell me exactly what these 2 daggers are? One has 3 acorns one the handle and this particular dagger has what appears to be a hunter on the scabbord. This dagger is made by WKC and the blade has engraving on it. The other dagger has a plain blade with no engraving on the blade for the maker there is what appears to be a sheild with .Z. inside the sheild.
I would greatly appreciate any opinions on this pair. I would like to know exactly what they are, awarded for and if possible the value out of curiosity. Also for some reason I am only able to attach one photo????
Thanks for your time.

Top is a private purchase dagger by Clemen & Jung. About $550. # 2 is a Junior Forestry-cut down blade with a fake scabbard. $250. This looks like Polish Ebay stuff.

Mr. Coates,
Sir Thank You Very Much.
I recenyly aquired these 2 and unfortunately had no idea as to what they are. If possible would you mind telling me how to tell that the blade has been cut down and then how to tell that the scabbord is fake?
Once again thank you for your time

Fittings on the scabbard are not WKC and are the type used on most of the newer parts reproductions seen almost every week on Ebay listed by a thief from Poland. The etch on the blade ends too near the point.
